Chapter 307
Bella‘s POV: “I was indeed blind at that time. Didn‘t you also love a kidnapper?”
The kidnapper was referring to Caroline. This was an eternal pain in our hearts. I yelled at Herbert, “Let me go!” Herbert was still holding me, looking at me with a very gloomy look. “Let go of me. Do you hear me?“1 continued to shout at him in a louder voice, but he still didn‘t move.
This time, Herbert didn‘t insist and slowly let go of my arm. Feeling that my waist was loosened, 1 immediately took two steps back and distanced myself from him. My heart was beating fast. At this moment, Herbert looked at me with melancholy and said, “Do you hate me so much?” I took a deep breath and looked away. I couldn‘t be seduced by him anymore. “I don‘t hate you. I just don‘t have any feelings for you.” He was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly said with a bitter smile, “Do you know what your simple words mean to me?” “That‘s your business!” My voice was still cold, but my hand clenched into a fist. “If I die in front of you now, won‘t you be sad at all?” Herbert stared at me and asked. At this moment, I really wanted to curse in my heart. “You‘re a man. Why do you say that you want to die? It‘s already so difficult for a woman like me to persevere but I succeeded.” I really wanted to go up and give him a few punches. But I knew that I was not in a position to hit him, so I could only say more ruthlessly, “Of course I will be sad.” “I will be sad that my son and daughter don‘t have a rich father. Their lives will be miserable in the future.” After that, I looked at Herbert, whose smile had frozen on his face. I had to remind him that he had a son and a daughter. His responsibilities were very heavy. He couldn‘t talk about death casually. Herbert didn‘t continue to speak, and I didn‘t know what his expression was like at this time. But the atmosphere was very quiet and depressing. I said, “I‘m going back.” After that, I took a step forward. Suddenly, the terrace fell into darkness! There was also a scream in my ear. The whole hotel and even the whole city were out of power. It was dark everywhere, causing a panic. “What‘s going on?” Facing the endless darkness, I couldn‘t see anything. I was a little nervous. “It should be a power failure in the whole city.” Herbert‘s voice came.
“How come... the whole city is out of power?” There was panic in my voice. This was an international city and there was rarely a power failure. The power failure in the whole
city was something that could not be encountered once in a few years. I was no longer agitated and I began to feel afraid. I had been afraid of the dark since I was a child, and what happened in the alley last time made me inexplicably afraid of the darkness. Now | couldn‘t even see my fingers. I was really annoyed! “When will the power...” I took a step forward. The heels I wore today were very high. The next moment, my body lost its balance and I was about to fall. I thought I would definitely fall this time. I didn‘t expect that there was a pair of hands supporting me. I instinctively grabbed hold of it. “Be careful.” It was Herbert‘s voice.
“I can‘t see the way. And, thank you.” Although I was a little annoyed now, I still thanked him.
I slowly steadied myself and regained my balance.
“When will the power return?” I loosened my hands on his suit. “It’s hard to say, because I don‘t know what‘s wrong.”
I felt that Herbert‘s hand was also away from my waist.
“Then we can‘t just stay here and wait?” I asked with a frown. After hesitating for a moment, Herbert replied, “Our best choice is to wait for the power to return here, because the banquet hall is very chaotic now. Maybe someone will fall or get hurt, because there are too many people there, and there are tables and flowers everywhere.” “Can we take the elevator downstairs?” I wanted to leave here immediately. “There‘s no electricity, and the elevator can‘t function,” said Herbert.
Hearing this, I patted my own head. “My brain is really not enough to work. I don‘t even know such a simple logical problem.” “Then let‘s go to the emergency stairs,” I said. “Miss, this is the 30th floor, and you‘re wearing high heels. If you go down, I‘ll send you to the hospital to check on your sprained foot.”
Herbert‘s tone began to relax. I suddenly thought of Joey and began to worry about her. I didn‘t know what was going on in the banquet hall now. I hope the situation was not too bad. I crossed my arms and felt that it had been a long time. Herbert was standing right beside me, and he didn‘t say anything to me. There were people around me, pushing around. Herbert stood beside me and circled a safe area for me.
He used his body to block the crowd outside.
My heart couldn‘t help but race...
